South Australian journalist J D Woods

Project description
In 1879 the South Australian journalist J D Woods (1879, p.xxxviii) in predicting the future of Aboriginal societies argued that:

“Without a history they have no past; without a religion they have no hope; without the habits of forethought and providence; they have no future. Their doom is sealed, and all that the civilized man (sic) can do…is to take care that the closing hour shall not be hurried on by want, caused by culpable neglect on his part”.

Outline at least three of the prevailing ideas in the 19th century that informed this view of Aboriginal societies.
